Most-Illogical Arguments You've Ever Heard

[Midnight Solace 5,129]

This has to be the most stupid thing I have ever heard...

"I'm not just going to dig through a thread to try to find a justification for an opinion that makes absolutely no sense."

Almost anything that passengers say

 

Weather is below minimas for our destination so we divert.

Passenger disembarking "Why did we divert? These things [aircraft] have Autoland"

...well, sure, this aircraft *can* have Autoland fitted, but doesn't ...I need to be trained to use Autoland ...and the airport needs to offer it as a facility. So if you want a pilot who isn't trained to use Autoland attempt to land an aircraft that doesn't have Autoland fitted into an airport that doesn't offer it, sure, why not, its only everyones life

 

Compressor blades in the front of the engine (the ones you see) are loose when the engines are off. Sometimes with the wind in the wrong direction the engine will windmill whilst on the ground. As the blades are loose (they become rigid once spinning) they clank.

Engine is windmilling and clanking whist passengers are getting on. Passenger "I'm an expert in gas turbines and those engines shouldn't be making that noise"

If I, as the Captain, was unhappy with the (normal) noise that the engines are making, would I be on the aircraft? and/or would there be an engineer investigating the noise?

 

Hey, they pay my wages

(Hmm, maybe these arent really "arguements")

"Video games make people violent"

That's a load of c***. If anything, the OPPOSITE is true...

People need guns to defend themselves otherwise crime will go up 

[Phosphor 11,522]

"Additional street lighting will reduce crime."

"School shootings are an epidemic in the United States"

No, they aren't. In fact, we've only had one major school shooting every 2 years for the last 20. Before that, though, we had a major one at least twice a year. Especially in the early 90's.

The most illogical arguments I've ever heard have come straight from my younger siblings.
